The Peruvian Quechua Network (PQN) has stronger sense of ownership and belonging of the stations and equipment used to broadcast its productions and programmes.
Quechua producers have increased knowledge and skills to facilitate participatory and coordinated production of educational radio programmes, particularly with a rights-base approach.
The PQN has attained a more prominent positioning both among the people living in the mountains in central Peru and in the south.
The PQN has also attained a more prominent positioning among joint working groups of several of Indigenous Organisations in Peru.
